Etymology
SYRIA (comprising roughly the western half of present-day SYRIA) is the name of an ancient Near Eastern nation mentioned five times in the ISAIAH section of the Book of Mormon. ("SYRIA" is generally the KJV equivalent of the Hebrew aram). This name is not to be confused with ASSYRIA, which appears 8 times in the ISAIAH sections of 2 Nephi in the Book of Mormon, whosee heartland was in the northern and eastern areas of Mesopotamia.
